Colonial Properties, Inc. , owner of Lot 1, Block 1, Colonial Manor Addition,
with consent of all abutting property owners, has requested that the City
vacate Essex Street in the 400 block a width of 50 feet and a length of
140 feet from Tract 4, Wm. Mann Survey, southward to the north line of
Lot 4, Block "K", Wm, James Addition, as shown on the attached map.
Subject street right-of-way, acquired by dedication, is open and paved,
and contains water, electric and gas facilities. The agencies responsible
for these public facilities request easements of sufficient size be re-
tained to protect their existing facilities. The Fire Department notes
a fire lane must be provided.
Current City Tolicy calls for a Cul-de-sac or acceptable turnaround
to be established at the terminus of any dead end street, when abutting
property is replatted. However, the City Plan Commission did not require
a cul-de-sac at the end of Essex Street, as the adjoining land is a
parking lot area which can be used for a turnaround.
The City Plan Commission has reviewed this request and recommends that
an ordinance be adopted vacating subject right-of-way as requested pro-
vided that:
1. The vacated right-of-way is replatted with abutting properties;
2. Utility easements are provided as requested;
3. Satisfactory fire protection arrangements are made with the Fire
Department.
A satisfactory replat has been submitted to City Staff and arrangements
have been made with the Fire Department to provide a fire lane.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that an ordinance be adopted vacating subject right-
of-way as recommended by the City Plan Commission.
